Hans Rosling shows that US is slowing down

As other nations speed up the US slows down. Rosling demonstrates that Asian countries are moving fast ahead and the US is slowing down.



Too bad he cannot show that the US urban centers are matching Pakistan and Bangladesh.

Wading Through Wikileaks

Don't have time to wade through the ~300,000 recently leaked diplomatic cables.  We didn't think so.  This short primer is all you need.  Enjoy.



Don't forget to click on the "Stuff You Are Not Supposed To Know" link at the top of the blog for even more Wikileak goodness.


Oh, and watch out for the black helicopters which are sure to follow.

Butter - The Deadly Spread

The latest "what you eat will kill you" craze has a new spokes food - BUTTER.

Dallas, Tx.


A sampling of Dallas grocery stores found unacceptable levels of PBDEs in butter as part of a study to determine "acceptable?" levels of said polybrominated diphenyl ethers.  In fact, one paper wrapper had levels 16 times greater than the stick of butter itself. Authors of the report called for more random screening of butter and other food products to determine how and where the butter was contaminated with flame retardant chemicals.


No doubt the formation of "Butter Police" departments is being discussed all across this home of the "brave" country along with the next Obama appointed Czar - the BUTTER Czar. Or maybe, just maybe - 
the BETTER BUTTER Czar.


Just grease my palm baby and we'll let you slide - or we'll shut you down!

Socialized Medicine - A Cut Above The Rest

Wilford Brimley that grizzled character actor who has become a shill for Liberty Medical had better not take his next vacation in Greece.

To Vima, one of Greece's most respected newspapers, has reported that the nation's health insurance provider - IKA - will no longer pay for specialized footwear for diabetics stating: "amputation is just cheaper." And, as the U.S. follows Greece down the national debt rathole, these cuts may soon be appearing in a community near you.


Sharky&Sharky can only imagine how this precedent has eliminated Greek men's erectile dysfunction issues.

Swedish Meatball

In what can only be described as irony at it's best, the U.S. State Department announces "World Press Freedom Day."  They are all giddy about protecting the flow of digital news.


Washington announces that they are “concerned about the determination of some governments to censor and silence individuals, and to restrict the free flow of information.”  Are you F&%$ing kidding us?


In typical State Department misinformation terror-speak, the "free" press is only free if you are not one Julian Assange - the Wikileaks guy. The combined might of the: Justice Department, C.I.A., NATO, Interpol and others are trying to prove freedom of the press is exactly what they tell you it is. Censorship is alive and well in this New World Order called globalization and it is being led by none other than Best America as we become more and more like Best Korea everyday. This, while Mr. Assange is being held without bail for not using a condom!?
From the official announcement:

The theme for next year’s commemoration will be 21st Century Media: New Frontiers, New Barriers. The United States places technology and innovation at the forefront of its diplomatic and development efforts. New media has empowered citizens around the world to report on their circumstances, express opinions on world events, and exchange information in environments sometimes hostile to such exercises of individuals’ right to freedom of expression. At the same time, we are concerned about the determination of some governments to censor and silence individuals, and to restrict the free flow of information. We mark events such as World Press Freedom Day in the context of our enduring commitment to support and expand press freedom and the free flow of information in this digital age.

 SharkyandSharky are getting so much change, that we no longer have a pair of pants without holes in the pockets.

Subway - A 362 Foot Long

The men and women of the "silent service" are not likely expecting a Merry Christmas this year.  According to some creative and frightening internet sleuthing, it would appear that the U.S. Navy is firing up their collective reactors.


Within the last 72 hours or so, approximately 9 additional attack subs got under way - likely headed to the Korean Peninsula or thereabouts.

http://www.informationdissemination.net/2010/12/silent-service-gets-underway.html

We all know how much the U.S. depends on the military industrial complex - as it is almost the last remaining home grown business - so start buying up these company's stocks.  It might be the last time you can "strike it rich."

SharkyandSharky hope you sleep tight tonight and don't let the bed bugs bite.

Barbie The Child Porno Maker

WARNING...WARNING...WARNING
For Immediate Release


The F.B.I. has sent an all-points bulletin alerting "law enforcement officials" to be on the lookout for Video Barbie.  According to the bulletin - "the doll could be used by pedophiles to make child pornography."


ALL other video cameras apparently can not be used in this fashion.


What is more likely the case, is that the F.B.I. and other groups of radicals need be aware that they could be filmed while performing their illegal activities.  Can you say Wikileaks?


Never the less, in the interest of public surrender to the "politically corrupt", Sharky&Sharky are posting a wanted picture so that the children remain "safe".

Description:

Barbie is wearing a hot pink shirt, matching shoes and cropped jeans and bends at the knees.

If you spot this Barbie, you should contact your local F.B.I. office immediately.

UnReal Estate

Well, now that the great recession of 2008 is coming to a close - or that's what we have been led to believe by the Obama controlled media/press, comes this surprising little gem of Americana.


Once listed for the tidy sum of $154,500, apparently due to the weak and continually eroding real estate market, with a new "priced-to-sell" price of only $69,500 you can purchase a Mr. Ted Kaczynski's 1.4 acres of Montana 'big sky."

One small caveat, the above luxurious building is NOT included.  Seemingly, the stunning example of Mountain Man architecture was dismantled and relocated to Washington, D.C.


Locals say you can still smell the combustibles and explosives ol' Ted used to kill 3 and injure 23 over his 17 yr. bombing spree.

Pimp My Ride..No!, Just Hail a Cab.

Well in Dubai things are a little wacky. This is because the people have so much money they have obliterated their common sense. You would think that they would share their wealth with poor Arab or Muslim countries. But Nooooo! They rather buy very upscale cabs. WTF. Let those Pakistani's float down stream. The Dubai menfolk need to have decent cabs. WTF. After a long day counting oil profits a guy needs a relaxing ride home.

Give me a freaking break A Lamborghini!

A FERRARI TAXI!!

 May the Holy Mother of Christ give us guidance...Amen

China Manufactures New American Citizens

Not only is China manufacturing our Dell computers, our IPODS, (and basically everything else that starts with the letter I. There is no I in Chinese so that they have to use our I as well) and our plaster board walls. They are now producing future American Citizens. Du Juan of the China Daily writes that Chinese gals (all as pretty as you please) are Laboring for US Citizenship.

In fact Shanghai (population 17,000,000) is in competition with Beijing ( 13,000,000) as to which can produce the most new US citizens. To keep these populations in perpective the State of North Carolina is only 10,000,000 and NYC is 7,000,000. Of course we do not count the illegal aliens in either city. You can be sure that there are no illegal aliens in Beijing or Shanghai. But less, Sharky&Sharky digress.

The birthing business is run by Ms Jia. To quote this entrepreneur

Jia's agency has helped more than 100 Chinese women from the Chinese mainland to give birth in the US since it was established in 2007 in California. She is in charge of the Beijing office of her company, which goes under the name the US Yuezi Center. Yuezi in the Chinese language refers to the first month after a woman gives birth when, in Chinese culture, she receives special care over her diet, sleep and health.

The company has eight babycare centers in US cities including New York and Los Angeles, where expectant mothers can kill time by shopping in malls nearby. The company provides the expectant mothers with shopping trips three times a week and arranges tourist outings if the clients ask for them.

The biggest babycare center at 400 square meters run by Jia's company is near Long Island in New York. The mothers are served with traditional Chinese dishes such as stir-fried liver, pearl barley soup and boiled fish - foods deemed to be especially good for pregnant women.

Back in China, the representatives are mainly responsible for attracting clients and signing contracts with them for their trip. The average fee for the whole service including accommodation and hospital charges in the US is between 100,000 yuan ($15,026) and 150,000 yuan ($22,539). Clients need to pay extra for flights and the cost of the visa. The trend of giving birth in the US began in Shanghai and has now spread to Beijing, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Hangzhou and other big cities.

You might ask why do the Chinese ladies have to pay such hugh amounts when the Mexican ladies do not? Well silly, the Mexican ladies know how to work the US welfare system and the Chinese ladies do not. But do not worry the Chinese ladies will figure it out.
